On the Treadmill

So just because its 28 degrees out does not mean I want to stop working out.. unfortunately this means Gym. As I said I have learned to hate the treadmill... It actually hurts my knee's more. I could go running outside for miles, miles and miles and I feel great the next day. I run 3 miles on the treadmill...BAMM! Runners Knee.

Well... It is what it is I guess. So I am trying to make the most of it. In the winter seasons I am going to start doing interval workouts on the treadmill. When I first started running I hated these because I felt like I wasn't getting a full workout in (which was wrong) and I want to just go for as long as I could as hard as I could. But know that I have more endurance built up and I can complete a race without stopping I am all for this interval workouts and I can now see how they are a good thing! \

My first treadmill workout this week was Tuesday. I completed at 3.51 miles (with cool down).

On Wednesday I did an interval workout. I got this over at Carrots N Cake and it was a really good work out! I printed it out because when I am working out I find it really hard to keep track of what I am doing...

The result....?

4.0 Miles in 37:40. Oh Yea! Getting 4 miles down on a Wednesday before 8:00 feels amazing... I walk into work and have already accomplished something for the day. I feel like working out defiantly feel working out in the morning makes you feel so much better for the rest of the day. Although... at night by 9 I am doneeeeeeeee.

About Me

Hi. I am a twenty something living right outside of Boston... In February of 2013 I got tired of not feeling good about my body and kept telling myself "tomorrow" ill sign up for a gym. So I signed up and started paying attention to what I ate. I am not on any crazy diets, but I just focus on eating healthier. My blog is my journey to learning on how to be healthy. I want to go from "zero" (not working out at all) to sixty (being physically fit!). Sometimes ill blog about random stuff too... you can check it out here.
